Plumbing Home Inspection

Having a plumbing home inspection is important to your home’s internal system, structure and value.Obviously, your home is probablythe single largest investment you‘ve made through your financial life. Having a solid foundation (pun intended) for the future is important to your home’s future value should you decide to sell. Plumbing is a significant part of that investment. Anyone considering purchasing a home should arrange for a plumbing inspection beforemakingthe decision to buy.If you own your home and have never had a plumbing inspection, arrange one as a preventative measure.

We know that plumbing isn’t cosmetic, but it is important.If you have a leaking pipe, clogged drain or a potential plumbing problem, we address it.A minor repair can easily become a major headache. You can live with the purple flocked wallpaper in the front hall. But you can’t live with a toilet that won’t flush or basement full of sewage water.

Whether you are purchasing a new or resale home, plumbing inspections will help.Using the information from the inspection is crucial. Having the education about your home plumbing system can be incredibly helpful. Not only can you take care of problems before they arise, you won’t have to worry as often.A small investment of several hundred dollars can potentially save you tens of thousands. Remember, plumbing failures often happen suddenly, without any warning. Plumbing home inspections offer peace of mind and future security. When it comes to the protection of your biggest investment – your home – it is much better to be safe than sorry!

The problem with standard home inspections

A typical building inspection does not include an in-depth plumbing investigation. Home inspectors do not open plumbing cleanouts. If water runs from the taps, drains empty and the toilets flush, the house will get a pass for plumbing in the home inspection report. Home inspectors do not have the technical knowledgeas plumbers do. By hiring plumbing experts like the team at ExpressRooter, we can advise on the quality of the plumbing system. We will advise potential homeowners if the system is up to code. We’ll even checkif sewer gas is leaking back into the homeand fix it anything else we find.
